Top 10 NHLers Under the Age of 25 – The LineUp Ep. 14


if you think these young stars are good
now just wait until they hit their peak
that’s why we’re saluting the greatest
any tellers under 25 today on the line
welcome to the lineup the only game show
to win both a heart trophy and a Razzie
I’m your host Adam Reed let’s see what
guests we’ve got lined up welcome to the
shelf red bow Bob like you are an
oscar-winning film producer and you get
to hang out with some pretty cool people
including that one time you got up close
and personal with Henry Kissinger yeah
we were interviewing Henry Kissinger and
we had him set he had a oh you’re doing
to demonstrate yeah – okay he had
mustard on his shirt and he was slouched
over so I had to fix his tie and I ended
up with plans you grab a little too
close to a package all right all right
how that make you feel uncomfortable
okay ready Thomas you’re an actor we saw
you play toe Blake alongside Roy do tree
in the rocket yeah I heard you also got
up close and personal with a celebrity
that was on the film of Gothica yeah
Gotha with Halle Berry I just stepped I
was Robert Downey jr. stand-in and I got
upgraded one day had to finish some
scenes with her I end up spending the
whole day laying on top of her energy
Church in her panties look at your Lee
though the scene required there should
be crying hysterically so it wasn’t
quite how I dreamed it would be but I’ll
take it
well you’ll take it you’ll take it you
guys will be faced off against these
guys team blue Jesse fair you’re a
sports commentator you had a little
running with Ryan White when you were
preparing for your interview with him
correct yeah I don’t know I’m going to
follow the Halle Berry thing but yeah
here goes basically I had Ryan White
planned out to come on the show we were
actually going to talk about you know
how he loses teeth and he’s one of those
you know sandpaper type players and
unfortunately about ten minutes before
he supposed to come to studio he gets a
slap shot for the mouth at practice wing
so ironically enough you can’t even come
on for the very reason I wanted to look
at that make that happen is that like
bad omen it’s an idea apparently I don’t
know I didn’t have luck that day one
thing’s for sure is you are going to
have some luck on your side cuz you were
paired up with Derek Allen you work at
watch mode you you’ve laid a top ten
list or two in your day few of them in
your first year being with watch module
you created a list with a controversial
choice and they’re still not letting it
go yeah I I was picking top 10 NHL
players of all time and for some reason
I chose
Lamia over granny what’s there to debate
what started a bit I agree with you Mary
let me out really yeah okay Mary
overweight Rex key yeah take that any
day Jay well teams so I’m just gonna
it’s not gonna single the line them in a
backe on that
teams welcome to the lineup over the
next three periods our teams are going
to engage in a battle of knowledge and
strategy on their way to creating a list
of the top 10 greatest NHL is under 25
the hockey pros at WatchMojo selected 20
players who they feel are most likely to
make this list gentlemen this is your
drop for to qualify for this list
players have to be under the age of 25
as of January 1st 2017 so some great
young skaters like Vladimir Tarasenko
mystic up by a matter of days
oh and just for fun we’ve hit in a
couple of names those are a wild cards
you can pick those at any time now we’ve
also selected a player who we feel is
most likely to be at the top of the list
and that is our very pretty
Connor McDavid he’s off the table for
now team red out of curiosity what is
your criteria when you’re determining
your picks
I like plus minus 10 plus minus okay and
I like injuries like workhorses that are
going to be around are going to miss a
lot of games what about future potential
are you talking about the length of time
they’ve been in the league is that the
age to what they’ve accomplished what
about there they’re playing profile I
don’t know I mean winners I think also
to the list who we’re going to pick and
be people that have won all the way out
because I think a win is a very special
person key blue you agree with them I
agree with that but I also have to say
that I’m on to go for the guys that have
a lot of potential the guys that are you
know they have the raw hockey sense
sometimes the best players are not on
the best teams you know and I’m sure
there’s some guys on this list that we
could we could vouch for in that sense
so you know some of the guys that put up
the numbers of course plus or minuses is
important but at the same time if you’re
playing with Buffalo or something it
doesn’t necessarily translate to how
much skill you actually have so yeah
we’re going to look at the looking nose
Derrick I’m going pure excitement these
are some of the most exciting guys in
the league so if they make me want to
watch SportsCenter every morning I’m
preaching all right all right you
already have these guys in your back
pocket look at this to easiness
gentlemen the stage is set let’s start
drafting
in the Entry Draft each team will have
the chance to pick some players to get
them started will go back and forth
playground style until both teams have
their first three players you guys won
the NHL 94 match on Super Nintendo
backstage well done guys look at you you
guys get the first pick all right what
do you think in thinking we got to go
with Patrick lining in your your pit you
go farm gonna go with Patrick Lonny
Patrick line II surpassed the 30 goal
mark with ease in his rookie season he
claims Alex Ovechkin was his idol
growing up and with his big frame and
pension for Bulls quarry it certainly
shows well done team red that’s a really
good pick they made cuz I’ll say they
heard us talking go ahead you same team
blues cheney’s alright let’s do us all
day I’ve really got to do man whatever
we got it right we read your pic we’re
going to Matthews Austin Matthews scored
all four of Toronto’s goals in his NHL
debut making him the first ever NHL
rookie to achieve such an impressive
start to a career nice eye you guys had
to counter that Patrick line he’s better
I just tell you straight up I mean both
teams don’t necessarily I mean both guys
don’t play on necessarily the best teams
okay but Patrick my knee I just think
he’s just so crappy I mean the first
time he struggled was when he got hit in
the middle of the ice and he bounced
back and I think it’s first came back he
already got a couple of points so having
said that what are you going with on
your next pick and that’s big I don’t
know I’m thinking I’m thinking you go I
want to go for ico you want to go with
that we’ll go with Michael Jack Eichel
Jack Eichel done ok what was that last
for rent on my watch did I play like a
Maggio I also love it hurt he’s got a
massive every record as soon as he comes
back he leads the league in scoring key
right shut these guys off with a big
nothing to me we’re going to take Tyler
Seguin Tyler Seguin say game won the
Stanley Cup is a rookie with the Bruins
in 2011 but was then traded to the
Dallas Stars since then he has had three
straight 30-plus goals season that has
become one of the NHL’s best and most
dynamic goal scorers look at you Randy
tell me what is the new winner and after
what substance sports sometimes I wish I
can play with Jamie Benn and all those
guys and you know what the world knocked
their team go I need your pick go for it
come on you know I think we discussed a
little bit I think we’ll go with Kuchar
off Nikita Kuchar Oz was tied for the
best plus/minus in the league with plus
38 in his rookie
even where he also scored 65 points
cuchara is one third of the triplet line
in Tampa Bay alongside Tyler Johnson and
Andre Pollock just one plus/minus on you
are you to change right now hold on that
is actually my pick so I’ll take the
next plus minus because nets off all
right because that’s off done connect
you last why not why not
all right gentlemen I got to tell you
those picks are smoking but we’re about
to turn up the heat all of it here comes
the next period it’s time for games if
our scenes want to get the best possible
players for the next seven draft picks
they will need to rely on their hockey
knowledge because game night is all
about trivia every time a team answers a
question correctly they get to draft
first the first two questions are a one
on one trivia showdown whoever buzzes in
first gets the answer if they get it
wrong the other team can steal and if
neither of them get it right the person
who buys them first wins the round and
gets the pick Jesse Fred come on up you
got it do buddy got it okay you were
thinking about coming up here all no
it’s not I don’t want to do it here we
go gentlemen there are plenty of big
cities that have turned out top to your
talent Montreal it’s wrong with Detroit
cetera but don’t underestimate those
small town boys which two first overall
draft picks grew up in the small town of
coal harbour Nova Scotia
I gotta go with Nathan MacKinnon and
Sidney Crosby that’s correct
Jose team blue the kiddin grew up with
Crosby memorabilia all over his bedroom
ro have you guys join your teammates
let’s pull up the draft pool and you
guys get to pick team blue go ahead you
pick this is yours you won that one all
right so I kind of hinted earlier at a
guy that I had in mind I think I’m gonna
stick with him Johnny hockey Johnny
Gaudreau Johnny Gaudreau nickname Johnny
hockey is the first flames rookie to
score 50 points since Jarome Iginla in
1996-97
he was tied for sixth and League four
points in his sophomore season and has
played in three straight all-star games
nice picked and I could have played
never I never will play in the playoffs
and when he does I’m gonna get crushed
all right on that note your counter
paper little shrimp salad over there who
do we say we were going to hear what do
we want I like yeah yeah I like I like
forsberg so Forsberg all right we’re
moving on come on up Derek
ready knows how they got nothing to say
good pay and weld your competence all it
here on fire randy thomas derek going up
against a big boy here hey Lester told
Blake himself alright put my head here
we go
this young Calgary Flames winger had his
nickname literally trademarked Johnny
hockey Johnny Gaudreau this is correct
at five foot eight 155 pounds go towards
not only the smallest player in the NHL
but of any professional North American
sport league look at that well not all
right we’ll have you join your teammates
head on back back to bite you know
you’re my first pick I can oh yeah
there’s one of you guys a shot at this
nothing that’s it yeah I did yes you’re
hoping for bad picking right answer
strategy okay
he blew one of the top guys on my
fantasy team Ryan Johansen Ryan Johansen
all right you’re kind of think arable
let’s do that let’s do it John Gibson so
I get some yeah who’s that exactly come
on meters all your the night you got a
925 urged two years to the rookies great
making up numbers all right teams so
these next two questions were upping the
stakes instead of getting one draft pick
for a correct answer teams will win two
also the winner of this round gets a
chance to really mess things up for the
energy by force in a trade so they could
take their least desirable player and
swap it out for the other teams top pick
I’ll read out a question that will
require a team to place four items in
the right order
teams can choose to play the question or
mistress passive team right which is an
expectation for you team right having a
fielder jersey comes with a lot of
responsibilities but sometimes young
players prove themselves ready of that
responsibility for Leon place these NHL
captain’s in order from youngest to
oldest at the time of their first game
as a captain before I give you your
options if you want to play or you can
just hand it over to these guys sand it
off I think yeah yeah we claim boys want
the puck we’re not going to pass it off
here we go your options are Sidney
Crosby
Gabrielle Landeskog Connor McDavid
Jonathan Tiegs
go any personal favorites team blue on
the list on jockle
you got to go with the economic David on
that one that I think he’s the best
player in idea right now I mean you know
he’s got a look at Sidney Crosby through
he still got all the points and
everything but
what what Connor mcDavid’s been able to
do after destroying his collarbone he
came as he comes back and still average
at the point a game from a natural
gifted standpoint do you put him ahead
of Sidney Crosby in terms of skill level
potential I think good but I think what
the leadership that Crosby has and what
he’s already able to do international
and how to level your guys better around
you he’s the ultimate sports superstar
alright let’s see if you guys are the
ultimate sports superstars team red we
ask you to play C’s NHL captains in
order from youngest to oldest at the
time of their first game of the captain
you guys said McDavid crossing okay’s
and landing dog and that is incorrect is
Connor McDavid Landeskog Crosby and then
tabes and this was a hard one since
there was only there’s about a less of a
year that separates pays and Nick gave
it so that was not easy you didn’t get
it correct therefore you guys get the
next two picks and you can’t to swap
something else
Gladys Lane I got some in the Colorado
lounge I need to do sixteen look in the
1920s well he wanna go yeah let’s go
with a wild card wild card one or walker
– oh man – go it to David Pasternak
nickname after a old pasta by Bob Bruins
fans this young phenom has already
cleared the 103 points milestone with no
signs of slowing down
alright your second pick and it’s by the
way that was drafted number two like a
deuce of the your team is going to be
okay like you guys watch wonder do we
get two picks up – there’s a fake you do
your second pick team with a wild card
again you want to yeah let’s go while I
had a guard wild card one team blue
you’ve earned yourself Nathan MacKinnon
won the Calder Trophy of 2014 and is the
youngest Avalanche player in team
history to score a hat-trick I’ll take a
do not deny you’re bad he’s not super
derail your counter picks here we go
being a habit fan I got to choose
Galchenyuk Galchenyuk
alright and your second pick solid I
think we’ll go with Aaron Ekblad
excellent team blue you have your the
honor privilege of taking one of their
players and given them loudly so lower
level players are the work players very
well even better I don’t want to
there you go vendors land that’s their
best here we go who are you giving up
and who are you stealing they’re taking
Gibson for you want to take from them I
think I think it’s pretty obvious we
want to grab Austin Matthews from them
deal
Austin Matthews is now yours I’m
thinking we give them Pasternak I was
thinking I was thinking McKinnon so we
might have to discuss this a little bit
my only beef is that I think I think
Pasternak is playing on a really good
team and he’s lighting it up for as I
maintain it’s gonna be a star gentleman
I need to know who you’re going up you
know what yeah based on potential will
give up Pasternak house tonight are all
for Austin mathmatics osterneck I mean I
don’t want to lose Matthews yeah you
know you guys are okay with that you
guys are just working it off yeah it’s
fine no problem
don’t you ever hear your workhorse
workhorse long term long term think
along you bring too many egos together
and all right right for an installation
the winner once again gets to fix and
they get to go with a power play meaning
they get to send one of their opponents
to the penalty box for the next round
these questions for you Team Blue
the draft is a great opportunity for
teams to get better but it’s never as
simple as it may seem sometimes your
first overall draft pick is a bust
other times you’re late round nobody
turns out to be an all-star place these
players in order from highest to lowest
Rafic in their respective draft pick a
year before I give you your options you
wish to play what do you want to hand it
over to these fine gentlemen play I
won’t ever play why not we want the puck
to when you whispering right right
though get a chosen is already there
right you just passed the test good
better on your honor see who your
options are Zetterberg
Yakupov Perry and ichael go question for
you team red Connor McDavid at 19 is the
captain do you think that that’s too
soon no he’s the leader on the team
okay so age for you in terms of
experience you have no issue giving that
to a 19 year old 19 years old I do I’ll
just do that because I think that at 19
like you look at the he’s said that
he’ll take I think it might have been
good just give him a year to to rack up
some points and confident out give him
an A and have somebody guy
yeah kinda pressure for no reason as far
as I please
yeah we’ve been wearing it very well
it’s right absolutely yes but again it’s
business right why they did that and
sell more shirts alright let’s see if he
blue is all business we asked you to
place these players in order from
highest traffic to lowest in their
respective draft classes
you guys said Yakupov Michael Henrik
Zetterberg and Corey Perry and is
incorrect
it’s yeah Kyle Ike okay and then
Jennifer you wouldn’t know baby you know
the only player mentioned who isn’t
still with the team that drafted them is
now Yakupov all right so you got that
incorrect therefore you have earned the
next two picks and you get to send one
of these loudmouth to the penalty box so
let’s start with your two picks right my
thought would be see that’s uh sure
ghost burger Costas burger that is much
conscious being tossed together by I
knew exactly how many bags sure yeah
yeah we will take fabric all right that
we’ve done your counter picks team blue
we did the first one I’ll take the
second you know what we need a we need a
goalie I think right now so we’re gonna
have to go with Peter Mrazek Peter
Mrazek all right and your second pick
may be a defenseman to round that out
set Jones Popeye’s Sun sets Jones all
right Hopkins it’s no respect gentlemen
you have the option and the power now to
send one of these fine gentlemen to the
penalty box who will it be team red I
think I think it’s got to be the tower
yeah I’m Jim whoa slow jazz done Slim
Jim
all right aka Jessie ferret your ticket
to for the tiki bar team leg does it
feeling good pretty good I feel awesome
all right now that team riders on the
power plate let’s see how they do in the
speed drill seems a lot to answer five
rapid-fire questions whoever gets more
correct gets that sweet sweet MVP pick
karmic data teammates to work together
on this one of course one of our teams
is short-handed the good news for them
though in the case of a tie they win all
right gentlemen here we go there are
many NHL family dynasties for the staff
knees to the halls but on the other end
of the spectrum are great players whose
relatives never managed to reach the
same heights for each of these famous
last names at
he identified a family member who made
it to the NHL but didn’t quite live up
to their family legacy question 1 how
was it Marty how or George how question
2
leech Jamie leech or Gordy elite
question 3 Blake Bernie Blake or Mike
Blake shorty a was a bill Trottier or
Rocky trophy a question 5 stall jarred
stall or Mike stall all right teams
let’s see how you did
question number one how Team Blue you
said George how team red you said Marty
how the correct answer is Marty how
Gordy’s other son mark how had a
fantastic career but his brother Marty
couldn’t quite get it go well done
question two leach team blue you said
Gordie leach team red you said the same
thing correct answer is Jamie Lee
correct
he’s a son of Reggie leach not Brian
Leetch Jamie played with two Cup winning
Pittsburgh teams but not many games and
his name isn’t even on the cup all right
question three Blake
team blue you said Mike Blake team red
you said Bernie Blake the correct answer
is Mike Blake Mike Blake nephew of toe
Blake and no relation to the Hall of
Famer Rob Blake Wow
all right now question for 48 team blue
you said Bill Trottier team red you said
the same thing
incorrect the correct answers rocky
Trottier he’s the brother of Brian
Fortier and he only played 38 NHL games
I by the way on a side note this might
be the lowest score we’ve ever had Wow
collectively so congratulations
gentlemen on that it’s a babies but I
will say this a time will do it for you
to snow 100 I for the time ago
question 5 stall teen blue
you said Jared stall team red
said Jared Stahl look at that Jared saw
the correct answer and you sir have
earned yourself be MVP Connor McDavid
now the youngest captain in NHL history
McDavid is the fourth fastest active NHL
player to reach 100 career points and
all signs point to him becoming the next
great NHL superstar how does that make
you feel team red not very good I’m not
too excited about of course you guys got
Ryan Newton Hopkins as your last topic
all right the draft pool is empty and
this stubble is driving me nuts oh
that’s the end of game night it’s now
time for the final countdown team blue
you’re back at full strength welcome
back from the penalty box and he got it
done yeah he nailed it man I was making
a sandwich and everything and he just
went on and and it was tight but you got
it done
all right our teams will now rank their
draft picks from 10:00 to 1:00 to create
their list of the top 10 greatest NHL is
under 25 gentlemen you have 60 seconds
and then we’ll see whose list is the
ultimate your 60 seconds starts now if
it just me or has a number of NHL
players who are unable to grow a beard
increase in the past few years at the
beginning of the 2016 season there were
twenty nine teenagers spread across the
NHL while many of these youngsters will
probably end up being set down to the
minors their initial ability to crack
the lineup shouldn’t be dismissed two of
the leading scorers austin matthews and
patrick line a are too young to order a
beer in the US it appears that today’s
younger players are more equipped to
handle the rigors of an 82-game season
than in years past
with more and more teams willing to give
them a chance to prove that they can
skate with the big boys but just look at
the 2016 playoffs proven veteran mark
andre flurry rolled the bench while 22
year old Matt Murray backstop the
Penguins to a cup championship look the
point is times have changed and now
talent comes before age and you could
bet your bottom dollar that if teams
could drop a 16 year old with guaranteed
scoring prowess they would do it in a
heartbeat
speaking of guaranteed points and
scoring team blue let’s talk well our
number one pick was pretty obvious it
was the All Star or the MVP round we
went with Connor McDavid and all the way
down through I mean when you have a guy
like Jack Eichel who is one of the most
talented guys out there even at his age
at number five kind of says everything
you Gilligan Johnny
Woodrow you spoke really highly of them
and you’ve only put him in number six
what why is that yeah well we dropped
him a little bit because he loves he
loves ichael okay
and we discussed it a little bit and I’m
okay with it so we dropped in one one
part in the standings there they say me
kidding number eight number eight again
it speaks to the strength of our list of
them all right let’s see your list team
red what do you got talk to us well we
went with our leader who’s a Stanley Cup
champion at Tyler Seguin he didn’t a
good way hey John team he’s around
waiting with the culture of winning is
very important in any professional sport
and then the rest of our team are bunch
of workhorses that don’t get injured
have great plus minuses and and like I
said they don’t miss games and I didn’t
good substance is going to be flash in
this case alright so what if I have to
make a pick let’s give to you guys good
job team we’ve all done yes till they
kick out a lot flash to Matt oh thanks
